Leather wheelchair gloves are worn to protect the hands of a manual wheelchair user. Pushing a wheelchair regularly can cause calluses and blisters, but wearing wheelchair gloves designed especially for wheelchair users can prevent these problems. Express Medical Supply carries many styles of gloves for wheelchair users, such as fingerless gloves, padded gloves, and full finger cycle gloves. The palms of wheelchair push gloves are made of leather for grip, while the backs of the gloves are made of breathable materials such as lycra or mesh.
